The Staff Attorney will conduct outreach in the Harvard community, engage in screening and consultations with community members, and represent members of the Harvard community in their applications for immigration protection. In addition, the Staff Attorney will develop and update Know-Your-Rights materials and answers to Frequently-Asked-Questions for community members to address potential changes to immigration law and policy.
